I'm tied to someone that's trueAnd yet I love another tooOh, ain't life a cryin' shameI hate to hurt them either oneI want 'em both, can't have but oneOh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame

I wish I knew which way to turnWhich lovelight should I let burnMakes no difference how I chooseI can't win, I'll only loseBound to break somebody's heartTear somebody's world apartOh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame

I wish I knew which way to turnWhich lovelight should I let burnMakes no difference how I chooseI can't win, I'll only loseBound to break somebody's heartTear somebody's world apartOh-o-o, ain't life a cryin' shame
